Disappointing

Brandy is actually a very good tool. The possibility to download logos in custom sizes is unique and very helpful.
Unfortunately, we cannot use Brandy to the extent we would like. We only use Brandy internally and do not officially communicate the website to Clients and Partners as we would like.

The reason for this is two features that are not included in the AppSumo deal, which makes the site simply look unprofessional:
- Firstly, the Brandy favicon, which cannot be replaced with your own in the AppSumo plan (and - with all due respect - is quite ugly).
- Secondly, there is no option to create subfolders or subcollections, which can make things look very confusing.

These features are only available in the Business Plan ($350 per year) and not in the Pro Plan ($50 per year) offered on AppSumo.

You keep getting the message: "Features are only available on business plan or higher. Upgrade to the business plan or higher to start using Feature."

I wondered why Brandy doesn't offer higher tiers, as is usually the case on AppSumo. I now suspect that this is their business model because after hitting the aforementioned limitations a few times, I promptly received an email from Brandy with the following content:

"We noticed that you’ve encountered a restriction while trying to create sub collection. To maintain uninterrupted access to our premium features, we recommend upgrading to a higher-tier plan that better suits your needs. Upgrading your plan ensures you continue enjoying the full range of services and benefits Brandy offers, without limitations. Upgrade now!"

Withholding simple and essentially fundamental features like a custom favicon (especially on a white-label domain) or subfolders to push AppSumo members into more expensive, paid subscriptions? I hate that.

Helpful?
